Additional details
How to get a Ghana Tourism Visa
One critical step before traveling to Ghana on a group tour of any kind is getting a tourist visa. In order to get a visa, you have to be vaccinated for yellow fever, submit some paperwork in order to verify your identity and your itinerary within the country, and then pay a one time fee of around $160. To check the most up-to-date requirements for a tourist visa (for an American), be sure to visit the U.S. Embassy of Ghana’s website.
The Best Ghana Tours
Ghana is a naturally beautiful country along the “Gold Coast” of Africa. Tours in Ghana will feature many nature walks and beach visits on the itinerary.
Aside from nature and wildlife, Ghana is also rich in history. It was a popular trading and colonial outpost for the British, Portuguese, and Dutch. They traded natural resources such as gold, but the slave trade proved the most lucrative.
Ghana was a very active area for slave traders in the 17th century. Which makes it all the more impressive that Ghana was the first African nation south of the Sahara to achieve freedom from colonial rule.
During the time of colonialism, different architectural and cultural influences lent themselves to Ghana’s infrastructure. Many old colonial buildings have been converted into museums. Ghana tours will visit these and other memorials dedicated to the long battle under colonialism.
To learn about this history and its present day impacts in depth, consider going on a cultural or education and learning tour.
Ghana on a Tour of West Africa
Many tours include Ghana on an extended trip of West Africa. Other countries typically visited include Côte D’Ivoire, Guinea, Senegal, and Benin. Taking a small group tour of multiple West African countries gives you a much better feel for the region, and as a result, is highly recommended.
